A distraught north Queensland family threw chairs at a 5m python in a fruitless attempt to stop it devouring their pet chihuahua. The snake stalked the silky terrier-cross late Monday night, eventually settling down to consume the dog on the veranda of Daniel Peric's Kuranda home as his two horrified children watched, The Cairns Post reported. When snake experts arrived to remove the non-venomous reptile, all that could be seen of the dog was its tail and back legs.
"We'd had the dog about five years, so it was part of the family," Mr Peric said to the newspaper.

G'evening SW - I've just got to tell you that I DON'T LIKE SNAKES. I remember having the 'opporchancity' to stroke one in Busch Gardens and declined the offer. I don't mind looking at their head (on the television); I can cope with that, but it's their tail that gets me!!!!! I'm so busy looking at their head that I forget that their tail is coiling all over the place... ... ... and could be curling round about about me somewhere - they give me the heebies jeebies.
Now spiders - I don't mind them so much. We can have loads of spiders in our house when rain is due because we live across from a loch. We have 'H.U.G.E.' spiders'; loads of different varieties - even our window cleaner is frightened by some of the ones we have.
When they come into the house I get out our spider-catcher, trap them and put them outside, though I'm sure they come in again the minute the door is open!
